to its function as a closure for the can may be used as an ash tray and cigar holder. Thus cigars laid in the grooves J with their lighted ends extending inward will drop' the ash into the concave depression G;

What I claim as my invention is 1. The combination with a tobacco container, of a cover therefor, provided with a depending flange for telescopically engaging the container, the central portion ofsaid cover being depressed to form an ash recep tacle, and a wide marginal portion being formed between said depressed portion and flange, said marginal portion of the cover being formed with a radial depression extending from the periphery of the cover to said central depression.

2. The combination with a tobacco container, of a cover therefor having a depending annular flange for telescopically engaging the container, the juncture of the top and flange of the cover being rounding, the central portion of the cover being depressed to form an ash receptacle, and a wide marginal pprtion being formed between said depressed portion and flange, "said marginal portion being formed with a radial deprescentral' depression of the cover.
